Developed by Astro-Tech to make large-format CCD imaging affordable for the amateur astronomer, the Astro-Tech AT10RCF is priced thousands of dollars less than the formerly least-expensive 10” R-C. The Astro-Tech AT10RCF is the first truly affordable large aperture true Ritchey-Chrétien astrograph available from a U. S. company. Even better, despite its low price, the Astro-Tech-developed AT10RCF has many of the same premium features as the much higher-priced competitive RCs (and some they don’t have) – like quartz mirrors, dielectric mirror coatings, carbon fiber body, and more.

Optical tubes based upon the Ritchey Chretien design are known very well for their successfull astrophotography, and the 10" optical tube by Astro-Tech is no different! What is different is the price! This optical tube is boosting quality while saving you approximately $4,000! Astro-Tech has delivered top quality Ritchey Chretien optical tube astrograph for an affordable price! Some of the optical enhancements the observer gets when purchasing this optical tube include quartz mirrors, dielectric mirror coatings, and many more! Sky & Telescope magazine named this one of their "Hot Products" in 2010!

ASA has developed a fantastic line of high quality Ritchey-Chretien Telescopes perfectly geared for extensive research or high level astro-imaging. The ASA 400mm f/8 is a fast high quality optical system that uses a hyperbolic primary mirror to form the image behind the cell and uses the secondary mirror for focusing by moving it along its axis via a computerized electrical drive system. These optical systems are similar to Cassegrains, but has improvements in the field correction even without a field-flattener lens being used.
